Time was against me as I drove to the restaurant. Having to keep hidden, I only transported to my car. The more attention I drew, the harder this task was going to be. Although that didn't stop me from speeding. Besides that, I can't remember a lot about the drive. Nerve wrecking and intense come to mind. Although that was due to the situation. Many times I wished I could go back to being a normal person. Although I think a part of me knew that I would never be like that again.
Reaching the restaurant, I saw the same SUV parked in a secluded area. Parking next to them I began to get out at the same time as the two guys from earlier. They both wore satisfied expressions. That caused my anger to flare, not thinking clearly I took a swing at one of them. He moved to the side as my fist hit nothing but air. The other guy grabbed me as I tried to swing again. Still not being used to having magic. If I'd have thought about it then I would have used it. Then again the risk of someone seeing or Sarah getting injured would have greatly increased. That is not something that I wanted to even think about.
"We've already won. Now if you don't calm down then Sarah will be seriously injured. Then again maybe she'll like it." Chuckling as he said it. I didn't lose my anger but I deflated as he said it. I couldn't do anything to jeopardize Sarah anymore.
Turning me around and pushing me into the center seat of the SUV each guy got in on either side of me. Two females had the front seats. This was the whole group from earlier as I looked behind me at the two guys in the third seat.
Out of nowhere the guy I swung at earlier punched me in the stomach. Coughing and trying to catch my breath as everyone else laughed. Feeling the air coming back again at getting myself and Sarah into this situation. The next punch I saw coming but still couldn't stop it. As we drove the hits kept coming toward me. Finally after gritting my teeth to control my anger one of them hit me again.
"You guys having fun? Well I'm glad I can be here for your amusement. Just so we're clear though if Sarah gets hurt or if I ever catch you where I don't have to hold my anger. I will kill each and every.. One... Of.. You.." Although my confidence seemed higher than it was, I also knew from earlier interactions that I could do just that.
The rest of the car ride was silent. Although everyone kept quiet, the looks were passed between everyone. Concentrating on my surroundings, I knew I was lost. My only hope was that they took me where Sarah was and wouldn't separate us.
As we pulled into a subdivision I noticed the houses and how they looked normal. The neighborhood looks normal in every aspect. The american dream with the picket white fence. Houses down each side in a nice subdivision. All of the houses were two stories and nice porches. Not a place where I assumed these monsters of people would live.
Taking a closer look at the house we stopped at. I noticed four cars in the driveway. That puts me at being outnumbered at least ten to one. Fairly certain they wouldn't let Sarah go. I had to do something. Trying to calm myself, I knew I couldn't do anything until I knew how many people were there and where Sarah was.
Being pushed out of the SUV the group surrounded me and led me around the house to the back. The cellar doors stood out to me as we walked up to them. The symbol on it showed what looked like a large C centered in a pentagram. The two guys walked around and opened up the doors.
Light was shining up the stairs but not much. Going slow to keep from tripping, the group followed me down. I realized why no one walked in front of me as I descended the stairs. There were six people standing in a half circle wearing hoods. Not being able to make out any of their faces. There also was no Sarah down there. Looking around the basement I only saw an empty chair in front of the hooded figures.
After being bound to the chair and the group that brought me here formed a half circle behind me, from what I could see. I noticed a door on the left of the room. Then began to look closer at the figures to try to make out faces or any noticeable features. Beginning to get nervous as no one was saying anything. Just standing there looking at me. Footsteps began and sounded like they were descending stairs.
My nervousness was starting to show as I began to fidget but the bounds they used were zip ties. The more movement I did the more I realized I couldn't get out without the use of magic. By the time I would have used magic to get out, all of the people in the basement would be coming after me.
Then the door I noticed earlier opened. A tall looking man dressed in a suit stepped through the door. His dark hair was parted down the center and was clean shaven. What I noticed the most, the power this guy had. Magic could be felt pouring off of his body. Wearing a ring on his right hand and left. They were both glowing. A necklace with the same symbol on the barn was also glowing. That's when my tattoo began to glow. Looking him in the eye, made me feel like I was in the presence of a God. Hekate gave me the same feeling.
"Hello Derek. I've been waiting for this meeting. I just didn't realize that it would be so easy to get you here." He said with a small chuckle. "Bring her out." Then he began to walk away from me. That's when they sat Sarah down in front of me. Still bound to her own chair. Her hair was messed up and there was dried blood on her lip.
When Sarah saw me though, her lips curled into a smile. Her face looked like a mixture of relief and fear at the same time. I didn't think a look like that would be possible. Even with all of that she still looked so beautiful to me. At least I knew she was safe now.
"You aren't powerful enough to take them on yet. But you have to get yourself and Sarah out." I'll never get used to that. Shaking my head to get what felt like another person in my head out. My eyes are also glowing now. Everyone began to back up a couple of feet and Alan began to step forward.
"If you give me the medallion, then you and Sarah can walk out of here." I knew he was going to ask that. I had no way to give it to him though. I wouldn't even if I could. He began searching for a piece of jewelry. Then searching my pockets. "Where is the damn medallion? He began to shout now. After a few more minutes of him looking he got angry. Honestly I was extremely fearful at this point. I didn't know what was going to happen next.
"Do whatever you have to do to get the medallion off of him. I'm going to take care of the rest of their coven." With that he looked at me then turned and walked out. I was frantically trying to think of a way out of this situation. Knowing how quickly I'd have to get out of this situation and get back to the coven.
I couldn't kill anyone yet. Unless of course I had no choice. Although even that I am sure would have it's consequences. I would do whatever needed to protect my family though. Hopefully he couldn't be transported to the coven. He had the ability by the medallions but I was unsure if he had been there before.
Looking up at everyone in the room, trying to think of a way out. There were just too many. Taking them out one at a time wouldn't work. If I took them all out at the same time then Sarah would get hurt.
"Just give us the medallion and you and Sarah will walk out of here alive." As he said this his hand was trailing down her arm. The anger was flaring up within me at that moment.
